Side-Seal Strapping Machine

Built for Demanding Tobacco Packaging Environments

The semi-automatic tobacco case strapper is a specialized strapping solution engineered to accommodate tobacco’s unique packaging requirements. Many tobacco cases are double-walled, heavy, and moisture-sensitive. Our side-seal systems prevent strap jams and excessive wear by relocating the strapping mechanism to the side of the package, rather than beneath it.

Key Features of the Side-Seal Strapping Machine

Before purchasing a tobacco strapping machine, buyers look for speed, footprint compatibility, and dependability. The Landen LP-9Y side-seal model delivers on all three:

• Strap compatibility: Polypropylene strap, 9mm to 15.5mm
• Tension range: 10–100 lbs, adjustable
• Cycle time: 1.5 seconds
• Sealing method: Heat seal for strong and consistent bonding
• Side-mounted strapping head: Ideal for low-clearance packages
• Construction options: Powder-coated steel or stainless steel
• Operator controls: Simple, intuitive interface with push-button cycling
• Portability: Lockable casters for easy repositioning
• Safety features: Emergency stop, low voltage control system, thermal overload protection

This semi-automatic tobacco strapping machine is engineered for packaging lines where precision and reliability matter. It delivers consistent strap placement and high repeatability with minimal operator training.

What Makes a Side-Seal Strapping Machine Unique?

Unlike top or bottom sealers, a side-seal strapping machine places the sealing head to the side of the product. This configuration allows for strapping of heavy or awkward packages that can’t be lifted or placed over a traditional arch. In tobacco packaging, where moisture sensitivity and material fragility are common, side-sealing offers critical advantages.

Benefits of Side-Seal Semi-Automatic Strappers

Side-seal systems provide unique performance features for specific operational needs:

• Ideal for low-clearance products that are difficult to raise or rotate
• Reduces product contact for moisture-sensitive cases like tobacco boxes
• Accommodates irregular or oversized items without machine jamming
• Minimizes debris buildup in dusty environments like tobacco packaging rooms
• Simplified maintenance and belt access for cleaning and servicing
• High-cycle durability for long-term use in 1 or 2-shift operations

These features make side-seal machines a preferred option for high-volume tobacco strapping and other bulk packaging applications.

Key Questions We Ask to Match You with the Right Equipment

To ensure we recommend the right semi-automatic tobacco case strapper, our team collects specific details from each customer. These help us configure a system that fits your workflow, product size, and facility constraints.

When quoting a semi-automatic tobacco strapping machine, we typically ask:

• What are the dimensions and weight of the cases being strapped?
• What is your current strapping method, and what equipment is in use?
• What type and size of strap are you currently using?
• How many cases per hour are you strapping?
• Are you using polypropylene or polyester strap?
